Verse :
B5              E5
She's throwing punches to the beat
    F#5      B5
To the sound of cable TV
             E5     F#5
And she'll never see the world the same
B5              E5
She lives a whole world in my head
  F#5     B5
And I am losing them
              E5    F#5
And all the changes are no doubt for ya


Pre-Chorus:

Coffee and cyanide for lovers in the state

You gotta want to leavе the craze
